Madam Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 36 I have the privilege to present to the House a petition signed by some 100 constituents from my riding of Crowfoot, more specifically, individuals from the communities of Trochu, Three Hills and Huxley, Alberta.
The petitioners call upon the government to pass legislation to recognize the institution of marriage in federal law as being the union of one man and one woman to the exclusion of all others.
I take a great deal of pleasure in being able to present this petition and introduce it to the House.
